We are giving away an incredible trip around Southern Idaho! Experience waterfalls, jaw-dropping views, and tasty local food.
Twin Falls and Hagerman Vacation – Island
Arrive in Twin Falls and prepare for adventure! Grab lunch downtown at Koto Brewing or Yellow Brick Cafe. Koto is one of our newer restaurants downtown, where they also brew craft beer. The food always has a perfect kick to it, and pairs well with beer. Try wine, ciders, lagers, IPA’s, or stouts; all locally brewed in house. Yellow Brick Cafe is a healthy option to try locally sourced and prepared foods. There are many options for vegans and vegetarians, plus they have meat to add to any dish. Yellow Brick’s food will leave you feeling refreshed and ready for the afternoon.
Kayaking
Now that we’ve filled you up with tasty food, head down to Centennial Waterfront Park to get your kayaks from AWOL Adventure Sports to explore on the river. From Centennial Waterfront Park, you have the option to paddle one mile to the Perrine Bridge, two miles to Pillar Falls, or even four miles to Shoshone Falls! AWOL provides life jacket and whistles. They put the kayaks in for you and will point you in the right direction. Enjoy any warm day on the cool water of the Snake River.
Kayaking works up an appetite so we are sending you to Elevation 486 for dinner! Elevation’s food is high class and unique. It is also locally sourced and prepare to perfection. We recommend trying an appetizer and desert because you cannot go wrong with any dish!
Shoshone Falls
Stay the night at the Filmore Inn and enjoy their continental breakfast. Try out the fitness room and pool! Head to Shoshone Falls City Park in the morning to view a gorgeous sight. Shoshone Falls can be seen from the parking lot and many other viewpoints around the park. We recommend walking up the Canyon Rim Trail to see Shoshone Falls, the Niagara of the West, from every point of view. Find a concession stand at the parking lot where you can get post cards, food, and other goodies to remember your trip. Dierke’s Lake is located just above Shoshone Falls, where you have the option to hike around the lake as well. There is a beautiful trail that leads all around the lake.

The highly experienced guides will give you a trip of a lifetime!

Hot Spring
After you’ve had a thrill, we know it is important to relax. We’ve set you up with a hot spring soak at Miracle and Banbury Hot Springs. Miracle Hot Springs is where the private pool awaits you. Then, you even get a couples massage to really unwind. Enjoy a tranquil and self-care night at Miracle Hot Springs.
Spend the night at the beautiful Ritter Island where bright blue water will flow around you. The farm on the island is filled with history, and the airbnb you will stay in is quaint and quiet.
Hiking
End your trip with the hike that will blow everyone’s mind; Box Canyon State Park. Visit the lookout near the second parking lot to see the gorgeous mermaid tail shaped aqua blue spring! Continue walking along the rim of the canyon to eventually come to the downhill portion of the hike. Descend down the canyon carefully and continue walking until you see the 20 foot waterfall! The trail continues even further to more blue pools where the public is welcome to take a dip in the freezing water.
